“…A fact that could justify this finding is that in the early 20 th century, children and young people, especially women, did not have access to basic education (18) . It is observed that non-transmissible chronic diseases were the main health problem among the elderly, in several parts of the world, because, with aging, harmful life habits and failure to comply with the treatment of chronic diseases can cause irreversible lesions in one's organism, and cause several incapacities in the elderly.…”

Objective: To analyze the influence of changes in function/cognition and the presence of depression in institutionalized elderly who have suffered falls, in order to prevent these accidents. Methods: Quantitative exploratory and descriptive research, conducted with 30 elderly individuals in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), using five data collection instruments. The analysis was conducted using SPSS 13.0. Results: We found that: the majority were women; had low levels of education; the risk of falls increased with age; older people with less time in an institution had fallen more. We identified the influence of medication use on falls. In relation to functional capacity, the elderly who had fallen, had independence for activities of daily living; of 20 elderly with scores suggestive of cognitive impairment, ten suffered falls. There was no significant influence between depression and falls in our investigation. Conclusion: Results show the importance of determining the influence of functional / cognitive changes and the presence of depression, and in episodes of falls in institutionalized elderly. Keywords: Geriatric assessment, Accidental falls/prevention & control, Homes for the aged, Geriatric nursing RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a influência de alterações na funcionalidade/cognição e presença de depressão em idosos institucionalizados que tenham sofrido quedas, visando à prevenção desse acidente. Métodos: Pesquisa quantitativa, exploratória e descritiva, realizada com 30 idosos, no Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil). sendo usados cinco instrumentos de coleta de dados. A análise deu-se pelo Programa SPSS 13.0. Resultados: Verificou-se que: a maioria era mulher; baixa escolaridade; o risco de quedas aumentou com a idade; idosos com menor tempo de institucionalização caíram mais. Identificou-se a influência do uso de medicamentos e quedas. Em relação à capacidade funcional, os idosos que caíram, apresentaram independência para as atividades de vida diária; dos 20 idosos com escore sugestivo para deficit cognitivo, dez sofreram quedas. Não houve influência significativa entre depressão e quedas nos investigados. Conclusão: Verificou-se a importância de determinar-se a influência de alterações funcionais/cognitivas e a presença de depressão, em episódios de quedas nos idosos institucionalizados.

The objective of this study was to analyze the scientific production regarding risk factors for falls in the elderly, based on the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association found in the Brazilian and international literature from 2005 to 2010. This integrative review was performed using the descriptors: accidental falls and elderly, utilizing the following databases: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature. Thirty-two articles were selected for content analysis. The results are presented according to the risk factors indicated by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, which are: environmental risk factors, such as rooms with excessive furniture and objects/rugs on the floor, poor illumination, and slippery floors; cognitive risk factors such as reduced mental state; risk factors in adults such as age above 65 years; physiological risk factors such as impaired balance, visual difficulties, incontinence, difficulty in walking, and neoplasms; and risk factors associated with the use of certain medications. An examination of the risk factors for falls in the elderly shows the need to develop new strategies to change environments and intrinsic components.
